liquid diet bathroom issues

I've read several people complaining of their bathroom troubles on the liquid diet... liquid in, liquid out...

I understand now.

I'm almost afraid to be far from a bathroom, I've had a couple of near accidents at home today.

Will adding benefiber help or make it worse? Does anyone have any "solidifying" tips?

I thought I was the only one with that problem. I was in the bathroom so much last Sunday that I guess I got dehydrated or something. I almost passed out in my kitchen floor. I felt incredibly weak.

I started taking Citrucel and it helped a lot.

jennay please let me tell you how another poster helped me..I went the first 6 days with nothing took milk of magnesia went that day and then went 5 more days with nothing..then someone posted to buy Fiber select gummies..I got mine at walgreens. I chew 2 every morning and like clock work im right on time. I havent missed a day yet and I feel so much better. They taste kinda like Gummy bears and are fruity flavored. I think I paid like 11.99 for 90 of them. Hope this helps you as much it did me..

One thing I learned today is if you think you are going to have just air passing when you are on an all liquid diet and 3 days post surgery- its not just air. ICK.

Luckily- I was wearing a pad because OF COURSE I start my period a week early. Im on the freaking pill and I still started a week early so that little bit of annoyance helped avoid a huge mess to clean up because of course I was laying down in bed when it happened. LOL!

Ugh, you were allowed to continue with your pill? I had to stop 2 weeks before surgery and can't start up again until a month after surgery.

I also have had horrible issues in the bathroom, it's completely liquid and will be the color of the Isopure that I'm drinking that day. Hopefully it becomes more solid and things will get back to normal!

I got orange sugar free citrucel today and am adding it to at least 1 Protein Shake a day... I made one for dinner with orange sunrise crystal light, vanilla Protein Powder, some sugar free fat free powdered french vanilla Creamer, a packet of splenda,and the metamucil... blended on ice it was like a creamsicle!! Hopefully this will help with the... issue... ick.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
